On the next edition of “The Freak Power Ticket” (Monday, February 4), host Ted Coe is joined by Ruben Zarate, guitarist and lead vocalist of Santa Barbara indie-rock quartet, Dante Elephante.

Ruben returns to the KCSB studios to perform a solo set, to talk about his surf-pop group (signed to the Merrifield Records label) and to spin Dante Elephante tracks, plus songs by friends and influences. Dante Elephante cites The Beatles, The Beach Boys, T.Rex, Dr. Dog, and The Pixies in that latter regard.
